In the first issue of «Consultative Psychology and Psychotherapy» there are three theoretical reviews, four empirical studies, validation of a new methodology, phenomenological case analysis, and a report on an important event.
The issue opens with scientific reviews dedicated to theoretical models describing:
— coping with chronic somatic illness (Abrosimov I.N., Yaltonski V.M.),
— sources, stages, and leading factors of professional burnout (Lobus N.V., Tikhonov I.N., Kargol I.V.),
— the similarities and differences between two significant phenomena of mental life that reflect intense emotional experiences — grief and regret (Fam A.Kh., Belichenkova A.V., Lebedeva A.A.).
The authors examine the history of these theoretical models, their current state, analyze limitations, and explore prospects for further development, including practical applications.
In the section «Testing and validating instruments» readers will find a template for the Russian version of the SMM-G questionnaire, which helps diagnose attitudes toward stress, and they will learn about the validation process of this practically important methodology on a Russian-speaking sample (authors of the article — Lebedeva N.A., Solenova E.N., Solonov I.V.).
The articles in the «Empirical Research» section discuss:
— attitudes toward vaccination during the pandemic across different population groups (authors — Boyko S.L., Karpinsky K.V.),
— communication difficulties among patients with schizophrenia (Belousova A.Yu., Korotkova I.S., Shchelkhova O.Yu),
— the influence of authenticity development on perceiving difficult life situations (Nartova-Bocharov S.K., Bayramyan R.M.) ,
— developmental dynamics of preterm infants with intraventricular hemorrhages based on maternal observations (Andruschenko N.V., Mukhamedrakimov R.Z., et al.).
All studies are characterized by high quality and thorough execution.
The "Case Study" section features an article examining the experience of future uncertainty among cancer patients (authors — Chulkova V.A., Vasilieva N.G., Pesterova E.V.).
The issue concludes with a report about last year’s conference in memory of F.E. Vasylyuk, dedicated to the theme of the "therapeutic turn" in contemporary society.
